Satsuma Fire and Rescue is currently seeking individuals who are 18 and older and would like to volunteer as a firefighter. Experience not required; just a willingness to learn and the desire to serve your community. Contact Carey Parker at 675-0151 or stop by the fire station any time.
The demands of the fire and rescue services once again in our community continue to grow with the population of the City of Satsuma. The Satsuma Fire Department always has many requests for their services in the areas of EMS and Fire needs of the community . The fire department made a total of over 450 calls last year. Among these calls there were over 74 fire related calls, which included those that involved structures, vehicles and brush/wood fires. We responded to a total of 376 EMS related calls that were medical in nature including those that ivolved auto accidents. Last year's totals are up from the previous year, which numbered about 400 total responses. Also the response time of each call has been around three minutes per call which is down from five minute response times of the previous year.
In the year of 2003 we placed on duty two additional full time firefighters. That brings our total to three firefighters manning the needs of the community, at least one of which is always on duty twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. The citizens of Satsuma not only have the full time firefighters, but also a number of citizens that serve as volunteers. We are in the process of progressing the fire department in order to meet all future needs of the citizens of Satsuma.
We also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued generosity in the "Dollar a Month" program through the water bills. Your contributions are helping pave the way to better the services to you, the customer. We are able, with your contributions, to purchase much needed equipment to provide for you when you make a request in the area of medical and fire related incidents.
